Soft, Moist opening for Mundy Cakes

Back in July, I posted on a new sweet shop opening in Allentown. Since that time, owner/operator Amanda Bernardini has been working feverishly to get the inside up to snuff, while working her colorful magic on the outside of the building. As you can see, Mundy Cakes is now ready for business, as Amanda rolls out her sweet and scrumptious offerings that include pies, cookies, cakes, and even Panda Pup Cookies for dogs. The shop officially opened for business yesterday.

In a previous interview, Amanda stated, “I’ll be serving up such things as sugar cookies (her specialty), loaded ice cream sandwiches, churro pastries, and dessert garbage plates. I have already built up a large clientele thanks to Instagram That’s how I get most of my business currently.”

Now Amanda is ready to rock ‘n roll with her friends, family, and new and loyal customers – the image (inset left) is a photo of two of her supporters, standing on the front steps, as the Mundy Cakes crew prepares to attend the recent Metallica concert. One of Amanda’s biggest fans, Allene Christian (photo left), had this to say about the young baker, designer, and entrepreneur, “What makes her so special is that she loves Buffalo, and goes out of her way to make sure everyone knows. She is unique, outspoken, sassy, beautiful, and a remarkable business woman. She has an infectious personality with a no holds barred on speaking her mind. Not to mention being amazed at her talent of decorating cookies. Amanda has been baking since she was a little girl and she makes the best cookies!”

Allene is right when she says that Amanda is outspoken, and speaks her mind. You can see a bit of mischief in some of her cheeky cookies, and even on the front steps of her business. Her cookies range from cute and whimsical to the naughty and side of life, as you can see in her incredible Instagram photos.

In her latest Instagram post, Amanda summed up her opening this way, “Today is a dream come true for me because no matter what happens in the long run, I feel very proud of myself for taking what feels like the biggest risk in my entire life. I feel even more proud because I know that through all of this I’m so unbelievably lucky to be surrounded by the most amazing people in the entire world that do so much for me and expect nothing in return.

“All this wouldn’t have been possible without the late nights with my mom and family who make me feel so incredibly lucky to have them, the overwhelming amount of help from my friends, all my fellow Buffalonians who’ve reached out and lent a hand or their expertise just because they cared, and every single person that’s ordered from me and/or helped me get to where I am today. Bottom line is I never dreamed I’d be here, I never knew I had it in me – where to begin to start a business – but if there’s something I learned, you can do anything you dream up in your life – just do what you love and take it day by day, and each day that goes by you’ll find that if you’re doing what you love, you’re one step closer.”

Eventually, Amanda’s dream is to open as a late night dessert bar, but for now she’s concentrating on getting the business off the ground, by selling to her fans, passersby, and anyone else who is in the market for some dazzling tasty treats!

Event Details

One of Buffalo’s newest and most exciting festivals is coming back on Memorial Day Weekend for its 3rd installment to celebrate all things Buffalo in one of the WNY’s most historic locations. The third annual ‘Totally Buffalo Festival’ will now be a 2-day event held from Saturday, May 25th, to Sunday, May 26th, 2019 at Buffalo Riverworks.

Building off the success of the first 2 years, The Totally Buffalo Festival is once again all about Buffalo and everything that makes us love it – the food, the drinks, the music, the sports, the historical events, the art, the architecture and most importantly – the people. All of the food offered will be creations that originated in Buffalo. The beer, wine, soft drinks: all Buffalo brands. The live music will feature 9 WNY-based acts playing genres with a rich history in Buffalo – rock, pop, r & b, Latin, country, folk, jazz and blues.

The Totally Buffalo Festival has the honor of showcasing 75 vendors offering stunning Buffalo-themed signs, shirts, towels, jewelry, photographs, paintings and more. The event also features an expanded Activity Zone with plenty of interactive and family-friendly activities. Portions of the proceeds will go to Totally Buffalo’s ‘Hope for The Holidays’ (www.totallybuffalohopefortheholidays.org).

“We’ve had great success with the first 2 years, so we decided to add a 2nd day for version 3.0,” says Scott Celani, Festival Co-Founder and Buffalo-based musician. “Plus, we’ve expanded our space and added a ton of new activities – including inflatables, interactive games, face painting, balloon animals and more.”

The Totally Buffalo Festival runs from 11:00am to 5:00pm on Saturday, May 25th and Sunday, May 26th. Admission is $5 at the door and kids 5 and under are admitted for free. Advance tickets are available at totallybuffalo.com . Buffalo Riverworks is located at 359 Ganson St. in Buffalo.

Check Out My Melody is an artistic improvisatory interpretation of soulful music onto paper and canvas. Typically recognized for his clean, hand drawn graphic lines, in this body of work Edreys Wajed display an evolution of his creative process.

Drawing upon his prodigious career as a hip hop producer and performer, Wajed intentionally pulls from plush, memory-rich, body-moving songs and samples, translating the music into visual soundscapes. This collection boasts raw new styles, from fluidly drawn ink and graphite portraits bursting with intense emotion, to several repetitive, rhythmic and dancing storytelling lines; to larger-sized, brightly choreographed abstract paintings.

Check Out My Melody is a visual collision of where standard handwritten sheet music slams into the disruptive, vandalizing quality and flare of colorful urban street art. “This work is the closing shutter of a snapshot or audio recording capturing the improv of highly energetic musicians on stage, and interpreted into visual art onto a page.”

To further enhance the visual experience, Wajed is collaborating with Twisted Rope, a local digital development and tech company, enabling visitors to use their smartphones and engage with selected artworks that come alive with innovative Augmented Reality technology (AR). Please download the AReverywhere app in prior to attending the show.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Edreys Wajed is a polymath and walking enterprise of all things creative. The Buffalo native boasts a toolbox chock-full with talents and experiences ranging from being a visual artist, writer, jewelry designer and musical entertainer, to an educator and entrepreneur with notable recognitions and awards respectfully in each. His approach in each endeavor is always identifiably unique and signature in presentation.

A popular phrase coined by Wajed himself is “Creativity is my neighbor, I live by it.” Wajed continually presses himself to get uncomfortable, taking risks to eagerly expand and readily invite artistic and creative challenges.

Currently on display at the Burchfield-Penney Art Center is the Contemporary Portraiture exhibit featuring 14 artists of which Wajed has the honor of being included in. He’s also recently most recognized for being selected by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery as a contributing artist on the Freedom Wall, which features 28 civil rights dignitaries, seven of which he painted with his unique style and use of line. | Artist Webste: https://edreys.com

ABOUT ARGUS GALLERY:
Situated on Niagara Street in lower Black Rock, Argus Gallery supports artists through exhibition. Argus Gallery seeks to provide opportunities for discourse and critical engagement in contemporary art within Buffalo and Western New York.

In support of their latest record release “Radio Silent”, Buffalo-based Tri State Area will be performing at Theatreloft, 545 Elmwood Avenue Buffalo NY, on May 25th. Doors open at 7 pm with performance scheduled at 8 pm. Pay-what-you can with a $5 suggested donation at the door.

This soulful duo acoustic of Tri State Area features the talents of singing/songwriting of Joe Spahn and guitar/singing/songwriter Jimmy Devany. Their collabroative process put together the 10-song album “Radio Silent” as well as the clever 2015 8-song album “Songs About Cars”. Described as folk-punk, this two-piecer delivers sharp, well-written songs including the reflective yet edgy The Author Chase His Tale in which singer Joe Spahn asks “I’ve organized my life into these songs to be no closer to where I belong. So should I try to paint myself in the best light”, the heart-searching single Stay Awhile and the folk retro-infused narrative The Ballad of Marshall Fields.

“The album was just something we’ve always wanted to do since we’ve been playing music together on and off for the past ten years.” Singer/songwriter Joe Spahn on the history of Tri State Area. Adding in the singles Stay Awhile and Complancency to “Radio Silent”, the album is a collection of material the band has been working on for some time. “We used songs we’d written together or independently over the last few years”, said Spahn.

The new release “Radio Silent” and Tri State Area’s first album “Songs About Cars”, can be heard by visiting their Bandcamp page https://tristatearea.bandcamp.com or visiting them on Apple Tunes or Spotify. You can follow them via Twitter at @3statearea

Or see them perform live on May 25th, at 8 pm. Either way you will not be disappointed with Tri State Area’s music.

dao yin translates as “cultivating the chi”, lung shen as “dragon spirit” (like the serpentine energy of the kundalini.) this system evolved about 1650 AD. it is a chinese tradition evolved and practiced by taoist mystics to heal illness, process stress and slow the aging process. as with all forms of yoga, the rewards are many, including increased strength, flexibility, grace and endurance. all systems and organs are benefitted, including the muscular and skeletal systems, digestion, immune function, oxygen distribution and lymphatic flow. the endocrine system is also uniquely activated releasing hormones and endorphins into the body. dao yin has the intent of integration of mind, body and spirit. the focus on careful regulation of breath, deep states of relaxation, and specific postures and movements create well-being. regular practice can help you attain a balance of energy, which promotes the free flowing activity of the vital energy we call chi. dao yin opens the energy pathways so that the chi may flow unimpeded. it can be used for both healing and power in chinese medicine. ultimately with this combination of postures, breathing, movements and concentration, a resonant cord is struck with the spirit. this integration of the internal and external creates a more sensitive consciousness, a certain enlightened awareness, and an overall sense of well-being.

Event Details

After two years of numerous events and black box performances, Nickel City Opera is thrilled to be staging a full scale production of Verdi’s ‘La Traviata’ with orchestra, costumes, sets and stellar cast at the grand theatre at Villa Maria College at 240 Pine Ridge Road, Buffalo, NY 14225. Performances are Friday, May 24th at 8:00pm and Sunday, May 26th at 2:30pm. Also join NCO for the 11th Annual NCO Gala Dinner, Monday, May 13th at The Saturn Club at 6:00pm.

La Traviata, an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi and an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave is based on a play adapted from a novel by Alexandre Dumas. Italian for ‘The Fallen Woman’ or ‘The Woman Who Goes Astray’, La Traviata is the story of Violetta Valery, a glamorous Parisian courtesan who falls for Mr. Right but can’t decide whether she really wants to settle down. They set up house together in the country, but she is secretly selling her jewels to meet expenses. Violetta eventually sacrifices her own feelings and accepts an invitation from an old friend which takes her back to her old life. Mr. Right confronts her new suitor as he learns about the sacrifices she has made and the fact she is dying.

In the 1990 film Pretty Woman, Violetta’s death provides the soundtrack for ‘Vivian’s’ first trip to the opera. La Traviata moves her to tears as Vivian has more than a little in common with opera’s tragic Violetta; their similar occupation. Both Violeta and Vivian meet up with the right guy and both have to think seriously about the difference between their place in polite society and that of their new paramours. Vivian is swept away by her new lover amidst the promise of a brand new life of luxury and bliss. But in Verdi’s day, fiery opera romances didn’t turn out so well.

NCO’s La Traviata brings together the best singers from the opera world in addition to WNY’s stellar talent. Directed by Ben Spierman of Bronx Opera and featuring Berlin conductor Matthias Manasi.

The Iceman Special:
The Iceman Special is a 4 piece outfit transplanted from the swamps of Louisiana to New Orleans. They create a sound that resonates with the psych rock community as well as writing songs that explore reggae, funk, melodic pop, prog, and other influences. The bands live shows are notorious for their intensity and their use of innovative and creative visual stimuli while also taking pride in song writing and the delivery of their message. Screeching yet smooth guitars, wandering yet punchy bass lines, synthesizers, driving drum beats, and powerful vocals form a one of kind soundscape.

“They don’t wear their influences on their sleeves, their original songs are too good for that, but the indicators are there. The production is strong and unlike so many bands that are unable to translate their live energy to a record, the Iceman Special gets the job done.” – The Vinyl District

“The band rocks and lays down such fat, solid slabs of rock ‘n’ roll that if they are not careful, the audience can trip on them and fall a long joyous time.” – David Kunian – Curator – New Orleans Jazz Museum and Louisiana State Museum

Peter More:
You may have heard Austin-based Peter More’s music produced by Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen, live on tour with Grace Potter, or supporting Leon Bridges in their hometown of Fort Worth, Texas. At turns contemplative and rousing, More’s music is precisely executed, yet manages to feel original and uncomplicated; Music you want to hum along with and also hang on to every single line.

Over the years, Peter More and his bandmates have called many places home. Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, More joined forces with Spanish flamenco guitarist José Juan Poyatos, Mexican bassist Diego Noyola, and French-American drummer Adrien Faunce in San Miguel de Allende, the colonial arts haven three hours north of Mexico City. The rest is…the beginning.

Join us as we walk together to raise awareness and funds to defeat lung cancer and raise our voices for lung health.

The LUNG FORCE Walk – Buffalo, presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York, will be on Thursday, June 7 at Buffalo Harbor State Park. Registration opens at 5:00 PM and the Walk will begin promptly at 6:30 PM.
Why Do We Walk?
-Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer of men and women.
-Anyone can get lung cancer – if you have lungs, you can get lung cancer, and it’s on the rise in women.
-More than 32 million Americans suffer from asthma, COPD (which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis), and other lung diseases.
Together, we are a FORCE to be reckoned with! We encourage you to form a team, register as an individual, or participate virtually. The LUNG FORCE Walk will feature Action Mission Tents to highlight key resources and support in our community, and will allow for patients, caregivers, and professionals to unify against lung cancer and lung disease.

This series of original artworks explores each artist’s relationship with the symbol of number and the concept of numeration. Each of some twenty contributing artists holds a special and sometimes inexplicable affiliation with a particular number or series of numbers which are either blatantly apparent in some works, or cleverly and playfully veiled to near obscurity in others. All of the participating artists create their works at one of the many iXpress fine art studios at Aspire of Western New York, a non-profit agency whose mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities.

The event will take place on Wednesday, 10 April 2019 from 6-9pm at Maison Le Caer, 1416 Hertel Ave, Buffalo, NY with refreshments and desserts by Camille. Don’t forget to check out the exhibition’s extension at our downtown location in the Market Arcade, 617 Main Street, Buffalo, which opens the same day (hours 7-3pm).

About Blue Rootz:
Blue Rootz is a 6-piece ensemble out of Buffalo, NY devoted to creating a soundscape surrounded by funk and soul, while also blending elementz of jazz, rock, and R&B to develop a musical setting that anyone can get down and dance to. Forever locked in the groove, they are always ready to extend the funk around WNY.

Blue Rootz is looking toward playing more showz and spreading the raw emotion that spillz into their songwriting to other partz of New York and beyond. By contemporizing funk, mixed with vintage vibez from days of yore, the group creates a powerhouse of sound from the deep pocket of their rhythm section along with their captivating horn playerz and impassioned vocalz; which is best to be experienced live.

Respect the process (of improvization), respect the groove, and as always….put a Z on it!
